6. FAQ Can I pay the loan off early? The customer may, without prepayment penalty, pay the entire outstanding loan balance in one lump sum payment provided the customer first notifies PG&E, in accordance with the OBF Loan Agreement, and obtains PG&E’s approval in advance of making the lump sum payment. Can a loan be denied, or altered, after an initial loan agreement has been signed? Yes, if: 1) a customer’s credit rating has changed 2) the total loan amount has increased and the loan payment period falls outside the established loan term limits How is the loan repaid? Customers will be billed for loan installments through an invoice that is separate from the monthly energy statement. Following the completion of billing system modifications in Q3 2011, loans will be billed through the regular energy statement What if a customer makes a partial payment? Partial or non-payment of loans could result in shut-off of a customer’s utility service and the outstanding debt being turned over for collection, subject to the discontinuance provisions of gas and electric Rule 11 What if a customer defaults on the loan? Customers who default will be subject to discontinuance of service and will be ineligible to participate in financing programs in the future.
